[DeTomaso] Auto Trader Classics Pantera for sale. Scam?

[Doug Scott]

Have to really doubt any ad that claims an avg yearly mileage of 575 miles
is considered a "special example that has been run continuously throughout
the past 40 years".  570 miles is running continuously today.  The
description goes on to describe repairs made over the last 7 years (3500
miles).
I think that if this was a proper/correct listing, it would not be long on
the market.  $19500 is low enough to pick up as an investment  From what I
have seen in the past 6 months, this car was about half price, again,
assuming the ad is not bogus.

I just tried to call the number associated with the ad and it is
disconnected. This is the same ad that we discussed a few months ago.
After
trying to call and finding the number disconnected it all came back to me.
